Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
b = 5
(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100
So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100
We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into
a^2 + 3b < 100
a^2 + 3(5) < 100
a^2 + 15 < 100
after substituting in b = 5.
------------------
Let's isolate 'a'
a^2 + 15 < 100
a^2 < 100-15
a^2 < 85
a < sqrt(85)
a < 9.2195
'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get 
So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.
------------------
Check:
plug in a = 9 and b = 5
a^2 + 3b < 100
9^2 + 3(5) < 100
81 + 15 < 100
96 < 100 .... true statement
now try a = 10 and b = 5
a^2 + 3b < 100
10^2 + 3(5) < 100
100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue
115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work
So, to find the answer you'd first add up how many patients you have:
20+50+100 = 170.
In a fraction your total would go on the bottom. Then you'd take how many patients are taking a real drug, which is represented by 20+50 = 70. This number would go on top.
So, the probability of a patient NOT getting a placebo is 70/170. Simplified would be 7/17.
The answer is D. 7/17.
The speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, it takes 6 hours for a plane to travel 720 km with a tail wind and 8 hours to make the return trip with a head wind.
We have to find the air speed of the plane and speed of the wind.
Now, let the speed wind be "a" and speed of aeroplane be "b"
And, we know that, distance = speed x time.
Now at head wind → 
So, solve (1) and (2) by addition
2a = 210
a = 105
substitute a value in (1) ⇒ 105 + b = 120
⇒ b = 120 – 105 ⇒ b = 15.
Here, relative speed of plane during tail wind is 120 kmph and during head wind is 90 kmph.
Hence, speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.
Answer:
$0.40
Step-by-step explanation:
20 pounds = $8.00
1 pound = $8.00÷20
1 pound = $0.40
